This does not occur if instead of htmlentities, a userland function is used:

thekid@Surface:~/bin/php$ ./sapi/cli/php -r 'function html($string, $flags= 2, $double= true) { return htmlentities($string, $flags, null, $double); } function p($arg) { echo $arg, "\n"; } p(html("The < character is encoded as &lt;", double: false));'
The &lt; character is encoded as &lt;
